Dragons: Worlds Afire

I've been a fan of the Forgotten Realms since the beginning and the main reason I purchased this book was for the short story by R.A. Salvatore. I wanted to add this story to my collection of Realms novels and stories. The book itself is very nice; the artwork inside is elaborate, the one story I did read was very well put together with respect to the style and feel of the whole book and made for an entertaining and quick read. If one enjoys the other worlds, and I know I'll get around to reading the other stories soon, this is very good book to have. It features long standing authors of the worlds: R.A. Salvatore for the Realms, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman for Dragonlance, Keith Baker, founder of Eberron, and Scott Mcgough of Magic: The Gathering. The overall design of the book, from cover to cover, is wonderful and should be included in any collection of shared world fiction. I certainly appreciate the purchase.

This is a beautiful book with compelling stories. I was particularly taken by the last story in the book "Unnatural Predators by Scott McGough." The story draws the reader into a world of mystery and magic. The author injects sharp humor and sharper dialoge. A wonderful book to read and display.
